Analog scanner owners are lucky that they just don't switch to use P25 in the clear. I guess they can use it as a tactical channel as it is. I've enjoyed listening to the Poplar Bluff police for years and sadly when they went full-time encrypted I assumed the department was becoming corrupted. Hopefully they realized that it is beneficial to allow listeners to hear normal operations. In this case, as a scanner hobbyist, I can accept some encryption.
